چکیده
This paper relates participation in global value chains (GVCs) to development patterns and ecologically unequal exchange (EUE). We conduct a principal components analysis clustering along six dimensions (GVC participation, GVC capture, investment, socioeconomic development, domestic environmental impact international balance) for 133 countries between 1995 2015. find three social, ecological, productive insertion patterns: “curse of marginalization”, “ecologically perverse upgrading” “reproduction the core”. While our results confirm asymmetry ecological degradation high-income low-income economies shown by EUE, it refines nuances these findings. argue that asymmetries are driven large part differences how articulate within GVCs. Countries with higher capacity capture from (“reproduction core”) able displace impacts facing trade-off upgrading GVCs (“ecologically upgrading”). Marginalization GVCs, mitigates but constitutes barrier socio-economic benefits. Moreover, lack diffusion more ecologically-efficient processes through has negative on marginalization” group.
